The system research problem that has plagued for many years has automatic collection tools, which are open source and free

Fu Hu Ying Chun , On the occasion of the Spring Festival ,「 cicada Prophet」 Finally in the Github Open source online ！

Introducing 「 cicada Prophet」 front , I would like to share with you Prophet The background of birth .

I believe some friends know , We Wanbo Zhiyun are committed to the exploration and innovation of multi cloud automation tools . Continue to build a multi cloud management toolset platform , help MSP And enterprises to build a multi cloud infrastructure IT base . In our large and small migration disaster recovery projects , There will be a work that will be done in the early stage of the project ： Research and consultation .

The so-called research and consultation , Before migration or disaster recovery , Need for various IT Basic resources for information collection and analysis , In order to evaluate how the project is carried out , Get better results . But , Because the research and consultation work depends too much on manpower , There will be various uncontrollable factors ： System management is chaotic 、 The form is filled in incorrectly 、 The filling format is not uniform, etc . This leads to inaccurate information collection , Manual handover is not timely , The progress of the project has been delayed again and again , It is difficult to achieve efficient operation .

Traditional research work is cumbersome and time-consuming , Because of its importance , There is no way to avoid .“ In the research work , Can we use tools instead of manpower ？” Our team learned from time to time project practice , Got this thinking . To solve our own problems , We will sort out our research methodology , Gradually formed a relatively clear automation gadget ,「 cicada Prophet」 And that's how it came into being .

Now? ,「 cicada Prophet」 Open source online github, And synchronize to domestic gitee On , Open to all , Hope to help you solve common problems , Solve the pain points in the research and consultation stage for a long time .

「 cicada Prophet」 It's an automatic acquisition 、 Tool set for analysis .Prophet Prediction 、 Foreknowledge ; Once you know it, you can know the system information clearly . At this stage ,Prophet It is defined as a host detail collection tool, which is more accurate . Now? , It can collect and obtain the number of surviving hosts in the LAN for everyone , Get the details of the host , Generate the required report .

stay IT In the system construction project , Traditional research methods and use Prophet What's the difference between conducting research ？ If we make an analogy , It will be well understood . This is like market research from the traditional visit 、 Send questionnaires, etc , Evolved into the current electronic questionnaire 、 Big data analysis, etc .

「 cicada Prophet」 Our vision for the future is , Provide a one-stop research platform , Including but not limited to the following resources ： Resource usage of various cloud platforms 、 File store 、 Object storage 、 Container platform 、 Big data platform 、 middleware 、 Database etc. . Blueprints will also be provided , It is convenient to prepare the scheme in the early stage of the project , Reduce the lengthy preliminary research cycle of cloud migration and cloud disaster recovery .

We hope , Problems and new requirements in the use process , Can bring it up with us . You can github Submit on file issue, Or join our development communication group , Work with us to build Prophet.

thus , Wanbo Zhiyun is in the middle of winter , Launch an open source research software with temperature , I hope it can bring convenience to everyone's work , To everyone's life , Bring warmth ～
